To the question about persons replasing state positions of subjects of the Russian Federation, as subjects of anti-corruption relations

Abstract

the article considers the obligations, prohibitions and restrictions established by the legislation in respect of persons substituting state positions of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which characterize this category of persons as subjects of anti-corruption legal relations. The proportionality and validity of legally established prohibitions and restrictions for persons holding public office is highly assessed. Prevention of abuse and criminalization of public power, whose legitimacy is largely based on public trust, should be ensured not by the number of prohibitions and restrictions stipulated in the law, but by the quality and effectiveness of their application in the practical sphere, the quality of law enforcement and judicial practice. This issue is subject to further study, taking into account the existing judicial and law enforcement practice.
